Young Officials

Adam Tripp, Luke Smith, Joe Scourfield, Oliver Bowry and Daniel Whitham all were selected to umpire at the National School Games and spent several days officiating. As a reward they were able to stay in a hotel for the duration of the competition and then were taken to watch competitions in the Olympic Stadium, Velodrome and Swimming Complex. They came back completely inspired and impressed by the standard of the top Badminton players in the Country. An experience that none of them will ever forget!!
